7

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the base station sends the SC-MCCH, the method further comprises: listening or receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), the SC-MCCH information at a location which is indicated in SC-MCCH configuration information of a system broadcast message.

8

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the listening or receiving, by the User Equipment (UE), the SC-MCCH information at the location which is indicated in the SC-MCCH configuration information of the system broadcast message, comprises: after the UE is powered on, or after reselecting a cell, or after switching to a new cell, reading, by the UE, the SC-MCCH information; or after a SC-MCCH update notification is monitored, reading, by the UE, updated SC-MCCH information; wherein after the UE receives the SC-MCCH information at the location which is indicated in the SC-MCCH configuration information of the system broadcast message, the method comprises: receiving, by the UE, a required SC-PTM service according to a content of the SC-MCCH information.

9

9. A Single Cell Point-to-Multipoint (SC-PTM) service receiving method, comprising: receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), frequency domain scheduling information of a Single Cell Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH) information on a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), wherein the SC-MCCH information is used for indicating configuration information of the SC-PTM service; receiving, by the UE, the SC-MCCH information on a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH); and receiving, by the UE, the SC-PTM service according to the SC-MCCH information; wherein the SC-MCCH information comprises: a mapping relationship between a Temporary Mobile Group Identifier (TMGI) of the SC-PTM service and a Group Radio Network Temporary Identifier (G-RNTI) of the SC-PTM service on the PDCCH, and information of a time domain location where the SC-PTM service is; wherein the receiving, by the UE, the SC-PTM service according to the SC-MCCH information comprises: receiving, by the UE, a unicast subframe as indicated by the information of the time domain location in the SC-MCCH; performing, by the UE, a mask operation on the unicast subframe by using a G-RNTI of interest and verifying a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) value; and in response to the verification being successful, reading, by the UE, SC-PTM service data corresponding to the G-RNTI of interest according to frequency domain scheduling information of the SC-PTM service as indicated in the PDCCH of the unicast subframe.
